Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Li Jie insisted on going to see Yan Gaoliang's current residence. Brother Liang was not embarrassed at all and took them back to the front room with a floor. Inside, a dozen young men with no work to do stood up to greet them, and the one who poured water poured Water, if you can't get a kettle, hurry up and get a stool. Li Jie walked around the room. The second floor of this front-end room was very clean. Hundreds of foam floors were arranged into a large shop, with a pile of quilts, pillows, etc. neatly stacked on it. All luggage The boxes were neatly stacked against the wall, and even the shoes they were wearing were neatly arranged in a row.

Li Jie curled his lips and said, "Brother Xiao Yan lives here? It's clean and tidy, and it still feels like a military camp. But this one is a bit too shabby!"

The young man named Huang Quan quickly explained: "Brother, don't say that. When we were in Tangshan, the conditions were much worse than this! At least there are flush toilets here, and dozens of girls next door live like this. This is not a problem. ! As long as Brother Yan leads us to do business!"

Gao Hongda's face was a little confused. He felt that he, the big boss, was not doing things well enough. He quickly explained: "It is just a temporary placement at the moment. After everyone has decided on their positions, they will definitely be placed in formal dormitories."

Li Jie asked again: "How do so many of you usually eat?"

Huang Quan immediately replied: "Brother Yan and Brother Gao pay us living expenses regularly, so food and clothing are no problem."

Li Jie nodded to express satisfaction. He was also full of sympathy for these people. It is very sad to have a home and not be able to return home. Then he said: "Thank you everyone!"

All the young men responded loudly in unison: "Serve Brother Yan!"

When they shouted, the water that Gao Hongda had just drank squirted out again. Li Jie's expression was that he couldn't laugh or cry, and he lightly kicked Yan Gaoliang: "Did you bring all the stuff from the army?"

Brother Liang smiled and directed Huang Quan: "I'll give you ten yuan, go to the store and buy me a Yuxi, and put the rest of the money under my pillow!"

Gao Hongda and Li Jie, who were standing aside, kept yelling, "F*ck!" and said to themselves: "Aren't you being difficult for others?"

Without hesitation, Huang Quansi took the money, put on her shoes and went out. Brother Liang directed another young man: "Liu Bing, go to the girls' dormitory next door and see if I'm there!" The young man named Liu Bing also turned around and went out without hesitation. Li Jie grabbed him and asked: "Young man Are you okay with your brain and eyes? Isn't this guy sitting here?" Liu Bing still ignored Li Jie's hand and put on his shoes and went downstairs.

Li Jie had a dark look on his face.

After a while, Liu Bing ran up the stairs panting, and reported in a serious tone: "Brother Yan, I searched carefully and found that you are not in the dormitory next door!"

Yan Gaoliang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, return to the team!"

Gao Hongda and Li Jie really suspected that there was something wrong with these kids' minds.

Not long after, Huang Quan came back from buying cigarettes. He actually took a piece of Yuxi, and he also took out two steel drills and put them under Yan Gaoliang's pillow in a serious manner.

Yan Gaoliang asked with concern: "Brother, do you have enough money? I can't let you suffer!"

Huang Quan stood at attention and replied loudly: "Brother Yan, the money is enough, there are still two yuan left!"

Now Li Jie and Gao Hongda could confirm that there was nothing wrong with these children. It was Yan Gaoliang, a fascist, who deliberately bullied people. Li Jie was about to step forward to fight the injustice.

Yan Gaoliang was a little angry and patted Huang Quan's face gently and said: "Young man's execution is good, but it's wrong to lie in front of me! You can obviously get back three yuan, but you must have taken advantage of one yuan of mine!" "

Huang Quan was very embarrassed and took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it to him, explaining: "I'm sorry, I have fully realized my mistake! I will never do it next time!"

This time, Li Jie couldn't bear it any longer. He kicked Yan Gaoliang down from the stool and cursed: "Can't you be a good person?!"

Yan Gaoliang was not angry at all. He lifted up the stool and sat down again and explained: "This is called execution! No matter what the leader says is right or wrong, it must be implemented unconditionally! You must not doubt the leader's orders! These brothers will follow me after the Chinese New Year. The whole world. If everyone tries to push me back and forth with excuses, I won’t be able to do anything!"

Li Jie laughed angrily and nodded at him several times with his fingers quite speechlessly. What left him even more speechless was what happened later. Yan Gaoliang threw the cigarette to everyone and said: "Let's share it!"

Gao Hongda was also puzzled. There were only ten boxes of cigarettes in total, and there were more than a dozen of them. How should they be divided?

This group of young men happily took the cigarettes and took them apart very thoroughly. They opened all the cigarette boxes and placed the cigarettes one by one on the floor. You and I shared them one by one. stand up. Huang Quan put a dozen cigarettes into a cigarette box and handed it to Gaoliang respectfully: "Brother Yan, this is yours!"

After taking it, Yan Gaoliang shouted: "Brothers, what is our slogan?"

A group of people answered in unison: Let's share the blessing!

Li Jie pulled Gao Hongda and said, "Let's leave quickly. I'm afraid my heart won't be able to bear it if we stay any longer! Go to Dachang to have a drink with Lao Luo!"

Seeing that the two of them were really about to leave, Yan Gaoliang quickly took out 200 yuan and threw it to Huang Quan, and hurriedly followed him, shouting: "Don't be so unrighteous! Don't take me with you when you drink!"

Li Jie said with a look of disgust: "I don't dare to take you to drink! I'm afraid that if I stay with you for a long time, my spirit will collapse!"

Yan Gaoliang knew that he was not really angry, so he went up and hugged his neck affectionately and said, "When I go to Tangshan after the Chinese New Year, it will not be easy for you to have a drink with me!"

Li Jie threw his arm away, squinting and said, "How fucking do you think I want to drink with you? But today we agreed, Lao Luo is a real person, don't show off in front of others!"

Brother Liang promised: Don't worry, don't worry, it's all there! The three people then went out laughing.

Gao Hongda felt that since this buddy came to the eastern suburbs with him, he has completely released his nature. He doesn't know where he can be serious and where he can be nonsensical. It's hard to figure out.

Although the drunkenness had not dissipated at noon, Yan Gaoliang drove very steadily, unhurriedly and without the usual energy of racing. According to his own words, when he is very confident, he can drive fast, and when he is not completely sure, he can drive fast. Don't drive fast when you're sure. There is nothing wrong with that.

The three of them were in Luo Jianqiang's martial arts gym in the afternoon. Yan Gaoliang practiced wrestling with Lao Luo's apprentices for a long time with great enthusiasm. He was not annoyed at all after being thrown several times in a row. He got up and continued until his head was full of hair. Khan just came off the court to take a break, and he kept praising Luo's master's apprentice's skills. When it comes to wrestling, this skill is really important. His words were very helpful to Luo Jianqiang. Who doesn't like to hear flattery?

When drinking with Lao Luo, he was also very polite. He called him "eldest brother" and "short brother" in a friendly manner. Lao Luo also liked this bold and bold brother very much. He would not refuse the wine offered to him by all comers. He was already warm and hospitable. He also likes to drink, and he can't stand the three drunkards drinking heavily. Even if he drinks well, he will still be a little drunk. If he woke up the next day and knew how much he had lost, he would definitely regret it to death.

Taking advantage of Lao Luo's drunkenness, Yan Gaoliang's flattery made him completely faint, and he began to brag about his glorious career, and even brought up the things that happened in Ten Thousand Flowers when he was young. Brother Liang caught him while he was shutting up and sighed and said: "To be honest, Brother Luo, I learned how to fight and kill in the army. I played with guns and bayonets. But in the society, I don't even have the ability to take advantage of others. If you encounter a local gangster, you can only fight it with your bare hands..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Luo put his arms around his shoulders and said boldly: "Brother, just ask me. If you want money, I don't have many brothers. It's just this guy's business. There are more, so you can take whatever you want." !”

Brother Liang rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "I think the pair of metal short crutches on your shelf is pretty good. It's very handy and can be used both offensively and defensively!"

Luo Jianqiang stood up and took the two crutches from the book rack and handed them to Yan Gaoliang and said, "Take it! This thing was custom-made by me from a blacksmith called Ou Yezi in Cangzhou. The weight is just right. The most special thing is this..." he said While pressing a knob on the knob, a flying knife shot out with a whoosh, flew about ten meters away and stuck on the wooden door, shocking Gao Hongda and Li Jie!

Yan Gaoliang ran to retrieve the flying knife and inserted it back into the steel crutch according to Luo Jianqiang's instructions. He accepted it happily and toasted Lao Luo. As soon as he put down the wine glass, he continued: "Actually, my favorite weapon is the throwing knife. Let me show it to my senior brother." After saying that, a chopstick flew out and inserted into the hole made by the flying knife on the wooden door. Luo applauded, then stood up and took out a cloth bag from a drawer. When he opened it, everyone saw that there were several bright flying knives neatly packed inside. He pushed the cloth bag to Yan Gaoliang and said, "A good horse with a good saddle." , I don’t have any use for these flying knives. Let’s play with them, brother! You’re welcome! Don’t throw them away. This was passed down to me by my master when I was a teacher. He said that in this peaceful era, there is no use for it anymore. Please keep this in mind."

Brother Liang thanked him profusely and accepted it respectfully.

Li Jie secretly said to Gao Hongda: "Lao Luo is finished. He was robbed today. When he sobers up tomorrow, he will definitely cry!"

After drinking this drink, Lao Luo was completely broken. Yan Gaoliang returned home with a full load. He excitedly stuffed today's harvest under the cab seat, then sneaked to the big tree, stuffed it down his throat with his fingers, and drank the wine in the evening with the fountain. They vomited everything out, which made Gao Hongda and Li Jie give a thumbs up: What a fucking thief!

This time on the road to the eastern suburbs, something happened. I encountered a commuting policeman checking the car. Although the inspection of drunk driving in this era is not strict, if the police caught him, it would be no problem to revoke his driver's license. Besides, there were a bunch of people under the seat. Throwing knives, it’s hard to explain. Several cars in front stopped for inspection, which frightened the three drunkards in the car. The driver, Yan Gaoliang, patted his face to calm down, and Lao Li took out his mobile phone to make a call to clear the relationship. When it was their car's turn to be inspected, Yan Gaoliang whispered to Gao Hongda, the co-pilot: "Get off the car and cry hard! Don't say anything!" After that, he pushed him out of the car.

Gao Hongda didn't know what was going on, so he had no choice but to sit on the ground and cry bitterly as if he were mourning. The policeman was stunned and rushed over to ask about the situation. Li Jie also got out of the car and handed tissues to Gao Hongda one by one in a serious manner. Da.

Brother Liang got out of the car with a bald face. He sighed and said to a policeman leading the team: "Comrade, let him cry for a while! Tomorrow, he won't be able to find his grave even if he wants to cry!"

The police officers had question marks on their faces and curiously asked what happened.

Yan Gaoliang spread a circle of cigarettes for everyone, but all the policemen waved their hands and refused, urging him to speak quickly.

He sighed again and said: "Forget it, we were having dinner with several leaders from Sanhe just now. Suddenly we received a call that this guy's construction truck had a car accident and knocked down a family of three. The little child was When we were three years old, we were rescued in the hospital. The blood transfusion alone cost tens of thousands. When we arrived, the three of us were not out of danger. The doctor asked us to collect money quickly. No, we put the money on our bodies and the money in our card. The money was left in the hospital. The relatives of the injured were afraid that we would run away, so they took away the driver's license and ID card. We had to rush back to the eastern suburbs to collect money. If it didn't work, we had to sell the house. After all, human life is more important than heaven. !”

Hearing what he said, Gao Hongda cooperated and cried harder, howling: "My fucking life is so miserable! The car I just bought had an accident within a few days of running! I won't let anyone live!"

The police also sighed and expressed sympathy. The leader said: "Yes, saving people is important. Go back and collect money quickly. Save people first. You have insurance on your car and it will be reimbursed afterwards. Don't worry!"

Yan Gaoliang said embarrassedly: "Comrade police, I know it is illegal to drink and drive, but there is really nothing I can do about it. So, just hold me captive and let them go back and do business first!"

The policeman waved his hand and said: "Pull them down quickly. Those two people smell more alcohol than you. They are more dangerous when driving. You should take them away. Leave quickly! Don't delay rescuing people!"

The three people thanked him profusely and got in the car to leave. A group of policemen were left silently blessing.

After driving for several kilometers at a stretch, Gao Hongda said very respectfully: "Brother Liang, please accept my knee! Your acting skills are so awesome!"

Li Jie also echoed: "After living for forty years, I finally saw the true God! I don't understand, how did you develop such shame?"

Yan Gaoliang said in a trembling voice: "Stop flattering me, my legs are so scared! The ancients said that a thief has a guilty conscience, and it is true! Whoever does not have a guilty conscience belongs to his grandson!"

Gao Hongda still said in an admiring tone: "Brother, you are not a grandson, you are the master! The master!"

Brother Liang yelled back: "You are the boss! Your whole family is the boss! The bosses are all being fucked! Don't curse in different ways!"

Then, the three people laughed.
